Must-Make Chicken, Pork, and Turkey Burgers For the Beef Averse

While an all-beef burger is pretty darn hard to beat, these unconventional burgers give the all-American classic a run for its money. These burgers, which run the gamut in style from Southwestern crab cakes nestled between buns to Asian-inflected options (mushu pork or tandoori chicken burgers, anyone?), are bound to satisfy even those who swear by the bovine standard. Keep reading, get inspired, and then fire up the grill!

Sandwich tender crab cakes between two burger buns and you're bound to have a winner on your hands. Slather on avocado-scallion mayo and a healthy dose of jicama-carrot slaw, and it's practically a sure thing.

Turkey burgers take on an elevated form when seasoned with savory-sweet sundried tomatoes, romano cheese, basil, and garlic. (And that's just in the patty!) Rounded out with smoked provolone cheese, basil mayonnaise, and caramelized onions and this fully-loaded burger is hard to beat.
